Budapest - The queen of Danube
DIARY OF BOARD: Malpensa 02-01 - Budapest (Alitalia) 08-01 Budapest - Malpensa (Alitalia)
TRANSPORT flight about an hour. Transfer from airport to hotel by taxi: just over half (spending around 5000 F). In town, use the Tram, it's magnificent, panoramic (18/19/41/2 lines along the Danube) and very economical. If you want to use the first set taxi fare (no more than 1500 F for urban movements). The risk to cheat is very high.
ACCOMMODATION Hotel Gellert, a myth. Directly in robe to the spa. Unique atmosphere, always hovering between the majestic and the decadent. Dell'ascensore eye to the lady of the spa is a fun, but if not go to the genius you plan to touch a few feet.
MISCELLANEOUS: For a pleasant evening in local restaurants and fashionable streets right are: fastray (near the Accademia Musicale Liszi) for the many Pubs and Raday (near the covered market) for restaurants.

For a night a little 'more lively you can not miss the Old Man
